A SUPERB example! WOW, everything about this GEM is amazing! The quality is truly off the charts high end! Only 6,000 $3 gold pieces were struck, and those grading MS66+ and MS67 number in the single digits! This one is tied for second highest graded at PCGS, and there is but a single MS67 graded higher. Monstrous luster radiates boldly off the surfaces, glowing with a sensational golden bloom all over. The shimmering brilliance accents medium orange-gold patina with tangerine and rose hues jumping off the surfaces when rotated in a light. The details are crisply impressed from an exacting blow from the dies. While careful inspection with a strong glass reveals nothing but the lightest tick or two, none of which has any impact on the stunning visual quality! PCGS 10, NGC 4, CAC 2. There are 3 in MS66+ and just a single MS67 at PCGS. The most recent example to sell was the Pogue coin, which brought $32,900 in our September 2021 Regency Auction and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $35,000. The MS67 has never sold in auction, though it is valued at $70,000. This is a fantastic SUPERB example and worthy of a world class collection of $3 gold pieces. Cert. Number 43839104 PCGS # 8009
